Coimisiún na Meán’s Code of Fairness, Impartiality and Objectivity in News and Current Affairs: Discussion
2:00 am
Evanne Ní Chuilinn (Fine Gael)
Podcasts are obviously not new. There was some sort of narrative that podcasts are new and we are catching up with the media landscape. Podcasts are not new. They have been around for a decade. I know they were harder to find back in the day. They are everywhere here. They pop up on social media and there are little video clips as well. Ivan Yates has said he has done nothing wrong. Is Coimisiún na Meán happy, given the current legislative landscape around podcasting during presidential elections on commercial stations and media broadcasters, that he has done nothing wrong?
